  26 /*  FUNCTION
  27         Initialise a filesystem for use by the system. This instructs
  28         a filesystem to write out the data that it uses to describe the
  29         device.
  30
  31         The device should already have been formatted.
  32
  33     INPUTS
  34         devicename - Name of the device to format.
  35         volumename - The name you wish the volume to be called.
  36         dostype    - The DOS type you wish on the disk.
  37
  38     RESULT
  39         != 0 if the format was successful, 0 otherwise.
